Red Shell Sticker Nails

Friday, 6 May 2016

Today's nail art is perhaps not the most summery but is definitely eye catching.

I received a sheet of these Shell stickers from Born Pretty Store for review some time ago and decided to give it a go the other day. The stickers come in a small sheet that measures 3.5 cm * 6.5 cm. The sticker is very reflective and reminds me of nail foil, only in a different form so to speak. You have to cut it to size with a small scissor or similar and then place it on your nail. Depending on what kind of design you are creating that means you might be able to get multiple manicures out of the sheet.

I painted my nails with two coats of black polish and after that was dry I attached the stickers to my nails making sure the edges were firmly placed against the nail. As it is a sticker, it is not all that thin, so you will be able to feel the edges of it on your nail, even after adding a couple of coats of top coat.

I am wearing two coats in the pictures and I could still sort of feel the stickers being there. This means that I don't think you'd be able to wear it as a sticker over your entire nail, the sticker would not be able to follow the curve of your nail well enough to stay put unfortunately. Instead it's more suitable for details and for instance looks awesome in the shattered mirror look, as seen here.

Apart from the thickness I was very happy with the stickers because they are very shiny and reflective. It doesn't come across in the photos too well but it definitely makes your nails eye catching in a very simple way!
